Newtimers release Sailor & I remix for single ‘Best Of Me’!
"Blissfully synthetic pop music..." - Clash
"“…an exquisite R&B-infused jam.” - Ultimate Music
Newtimers have shared the Sailor & I remix of their single Best of Me. Both this remix and the original single can be found on the band's latest release EP One, out now via Cosmos Music and available on Spotify and iTunes.
The remix is available to stream now via the band's Soundcloud page.
The full EP is also available to stream now, also via the band's Soundcloud page.
Or you can watch the video for the single Best Of Me, which premiered on Clash, via the band's YouTube channel.
EP One is a blend of synth pop, RnB and 80s soul with the duo Andreas Britton Cavaco (vocals) and Tim Lundblad (drums, production), finally coming together as Newtimers after writing and recording music for many years under various guises for miscellaneous projects and collaborative ventures.
The tracks on the EP were written at a time when the pair were both suffering from broken hearts. “It's full of who, what, wheres and whys - seeing past, present and future,” say the band and although the songs were written under somewhat sad circumstances, there’s more hope here than melancholy.
The duo have had dalliances with various labels from indies to majors but finally as Newtimers, they’re ready to present their own brand of alt pop to the masses. Previous single Perfect Ten racked up nearly 90k plays on Spotify and the way the pair combine their influences, carving out their own unique space within the pop genre, is their biggest draw - it’s hard to pin Newtimers down and that’s a good thing.
The EP also features two remixes of Best Of Me by Monsieur Adi and Sailor & I. Having been compared to the likes of The xx and Active Child, Sailor & I is known for creating huge, dream-like sounds in his music, something which he has incorporated perfectly into his Best Of Me remix.
Newtimers’ EP One is the perfect introduction to a band that are more than the sum of their various influences, they create modern pop that’s full of heart, soul and depth.
EP One is out now via Cosmos Music and available on Spotify and iTunes.
